A Tale With a Moral for Women.
From the Daily Graphic
Hostesses, as rule, are charming women, but
they are weak in one particular and that is In al
lowing themselves the sin Of being imposed upon
and also OF being unduly good natured. One Of
their pet sins is allowing themselves to be abused
by unwelcome guests. For instance, what do you
think of thiS? clever woman who receives very
largely sent cards last year to woman who after.
wards proved most undesirable acquaintance
When She found her out madame thought 1t was
an easy matter to end the matter. When the un-
desirable appeared again she was greeted with
cool show dye do" aud nod for parting. The
next appearance was greeted with but the nod and
no "HOw dye do" The undesirable accepted that
as SUBSTITUTE for welcome on several occasions,
but finally seemed to understand what it meant.
What do you think She did then? Betake herself
to her friends? Not at all. She simply dispensed
with the nod, and when madame would make the
tour OF her drawing rooms she would find her as
comfortably enSconced in q corner as IL 1t were
the house OF her dearest friend.

Beware Of the Fiat Wheel.

From the Chicago Herald.
AS train was pulling out of the West Side
Union station in Chicago passenger sat still
moment as II listening to something, and then
rose from his seat, picked up his luggage, and
asked his travelling companion to go with him
into the first car ahead.
"But we have just got comfortably seated here, :"
replied the other; "why should we make change?
Car too hot for you?"
"No, the temperature is all right"
''TOO cold, mebbe?"
''NO, it's not too cold"
'0Then what is the matter? Why should we go
into the front carr"
"Well, I'll tell you You know used to be a
railroad man, conductor, and, Of cOurSe,I picked
up some ideas on the road that man gets only
from experience. As soon as the train started my
ears TOLD me there was fat wheel under this car
Don't you hear it rapping on the rails? Walt till
the Train SLOWS up for the first stop. and then
you'll hear tt-running too fast now. Yes sir, car
wheels natten out, and have to be closely watched
Some 1mperfecttOn or unevenneSS in the iron, or
some extraordinary blow on a rail or obstruction,
makes an impression on the surface OF the wheel,
and then every revolution thereafter adds to the
injury. A wheel will fiatten out in a remarkably
short time, and on long runs OF through trains
fiat wheel is source of danger. II this wheel
runs from here to New York, and happens to be a
pretty soft Wheel the chances are that it will ar

much damage to the track on the journey as the

Speakers of the House.

Illinois has never had a speaker of the
house nor president of the senate, and
no speaker has ever lived west of the
Mississippi. Rhode Island and Delaware,
among the eastern states, have never
been honored with the speakership, and
neither Louisiana nor Alabama has ever
had speaker. Mr.. Carlisle is now en-
tering upon his third term as speaker,
and when he has completed it Kentucky
will have had the speakership twenty
three years. New York has not had a
speaker since the days of John Quincy
Adams, when John w. Taylor closed his
term, and she has been represented only
three years in the speakers chair since
the beginning of our government. Ken
lucky ranks the other states Of the union
as furnisher of speakership of congress,
and Virginia comes next with Just about
two-thirds the period of service, or four
teen years. Pennsylvania has held the
speakership eleven years. Massachusetts,
ten years, Indiana eight years, Maine,

Ohio four years, and Georgia, when

Remarkable Case of Hypnotism.

One of the most remarkable cases of
hypnotism that perhaps has ever been re-
corded is now being quietly investigated
by physicians in Baltimore. The case is
that of girl about IA years of age, who
lives with her parents on Madison avenue
In one of the most fashionable sections of
the city. The family are extremely re-
ticent on the subject, and insist that their
names be kept secret. The father has
devoted much attention to the study of
hypnotisn, and has made many expert
ments on this, his only child. He sue
ceeded in gaining complete mastery of
the girls mind, and could place her in a
trance whenever he wished.
He made the experiment, however,
once too often. About a month ago he
placed her under the occult influence,
and she has remained in trance ever
since, from which neither her father nor
the physicians have been able to arouse
her. She seems to have lost the powers
of articulation, and moves about mechani-
cally, She eats when food is offered, but
without relish or apparent knowledge Of
her actions. Her eyes are never closed,
but maintain a stony stare. The ply
sicians are greatly puzzled over the case,
and the father is nearly beside himself
with grief. Buffalo News.

An American Ruin Which Has Been

earthed in Alabama
An object of interest to the general
public, and one that claims the attention

pose which the thing shown was designed
to serve can only be explained by those
versed in antiquity. A human head upon

In stone, describes the appearance
of a work that bears all the evil
dence of prehistoric origin, The face is
purely Egyptian. Across the head is
cast something resembling an amice
placed in such manner as to reveal the
entire forehead. The image is formed
IN such manner as to be fairly balanced
upon base tapering from the middle of
the body. The base is round and hol-
lowed to depth of about two inches.

on the top or upper part of the body hol-
lowed III like manner and of the same
dimensions as the hollow in the base, in
tersects hole drilled at right angles with
that bored through the upper part of the
body.
The figure is twelve and one-half inches
long and nine and three quarter inches
high. Its weight is twenty-one pounds.
The figure is perfect of its kind. There
: a small fracture in the tail, and cut
in the lower left cheek. The proportions
of the face are well preserved. The carv-
ing, though rude, is bold, and the effect
produced striking, considering the sim
plicity of the design. The material seems
to be granite.
The manner in which it came into their
possession is curious. Some time ago a
citizen of Alabama informed the firm
that his brother, A. Berkstressor, farmer
residing near Montgomery, Ala, while
blowing had turned up strange image
that was regarded as an Egyptian idol.
Mr.. Cain made further inquiry concern.

self that the statement made by the
farmer had been verified by the people of
Montgomery, secured the figure. All
who have examined it express the opin-
ion that it is undoubtedly prehistoric. It
is said that there is but one other figure
similar to it, and that is in the Smith
sonian institution Pittsburg Times.
